Nuclear Physics Seminar - Ovidiu Costin (Department of Mathematics, OSU) - An Overview of Resurgence Theory and of Its Applications in Physics

Ovidiu Costin (Department of Mathematics, OSU), 2/24/21 Nuclear Physics seminar speaker
Wed, February 24, 2021
4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
Zoom webinar

I will explain the general concepts of resurgence theory which developed roughly at the same time in mathematics (Ecalle) and in physics (Polyakov, 't Hooft). I will then describe as a special but very important example: how resurgence will be used to define and calculate path integrals, based on a fundamental intuition of Ed Witten.
